Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Andrews, in your opening remarks, you said that air transportation is an essential service in a region like yours. I believe a member from your region repeated that afterwards.
In Quebec, when a service is designated as essential, it means that the government must contribute to it. It funds systems such as hospitals, health care and schools. Education is free.
I'm not saying that air travel necessarily has to be free. The main point I want to make is that these services receive government support.
Are you satisfied with the support you are currently getting from the government to buttress regional air service?
